- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Filmed at Efteling in 1978 "Wuthering Heights" is a song by singer-songwriter Kate Bush, released as her debut single on the 20th of January 1978. Inspired by the 1847 Emily Brontë novel of the same name, it appears on her 1978 debut album The Kick Inside. It stayed at number one on the UK Singles Chart for four weeks, and remains Bush's most successful single. The song received widespread critical acclaim and continues to be highly regarded; in 2016, Pitchfork named it the fifth-greatest song of the 1970s
#KateBush #WutheringHeights
For those who have actually read Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, this video makes perfect sense.
Sim
Tragic and haunting!
both the book and the song are brilliant !
One of my favourite books ! Kate Bush captured the atmosphere of it
True
Im convinced Kate is witch(a good witch) and this song and her dance movements are a spell that makes anyone watching fall deeply in love with her. It worked lol...
There’s 4 different versions of basically the same video in which Kate performs this song and dance with those crazy and unsettling facial expressions, the only difference being the settings: a golden mist in a dark void, the wilderness under an overcast sky, a literal haunted house, and a small fairytale movie set with extreme closeups of Kate’s face. Each of these represent a different space Kate’s ghost character might inhabit: the traditional “heaven” surrounded by darkness, the fields she walked in her lifetime, the manor house in which she once lived, and the tiny fairytale world that is her reality. Kate’s dance alternates between flowy interpretive dance of the lyrics and motions commonly ascribed to the undead and/or the blind. Her facial expressions go beyond exaggeration into what seems like possession by a spirit whose sole remaining urge is to chase her old lover and make him one with her. Her makeup, specifically that around her eyes, gives her gaze an uncanny and disturbing affect that transforms her into something monstrous and inhuman, which is fitting for a character who inflicts so much pain and grief on those around her. Overall these videos are profoundly beautiful and unsettling despite their simplicity and will likely haunt the viewer the way Cathy’s ghost haunted Heathcliff in the novel “Wuthering Heights,” the song’s namesake.
*effect (not affect) 😉
@@calisongbird no, I meant affect. Her makeup gives her face a certain *affect,* aka a particular characterization, not an *effect*
👏👏👏👏🌹
Wow! A huge fan of Kate's for yeeears, I never knew of the multiple videos of "Wuthering Heights"! Do you know where the others can be seen??
@@calisongbird Oof
I thought I’d seen every Wuthering heights video but this is a new one for me. I bet this generation of Kate Bush fans due to ‘Stranger Things’ are finding her old catalogue and having their minds blown!
same here...loved her for decades and never seen this fantastic gem of a video until now
Provavelmente
I used to listen to her befor Stranger Things, but now I'm really glad to see new generations knowing her, this is awesome, she deserves it.
This is recorded in the ghost castle of ‘De Efteling’ an amusement park in Kaatsheuvel, The Netherlands. Unfortunately the castle is going to be demolished to make way for a more modern attraction. :-(
Certainly, many songs from the 60's, 70's, 80's, even 90's, make their way into movie soundtracks and the current generation ends up knowing the gems of past times.
She dances like a little girl in front of her mirror. It's so charming. And for such a sophisticated piece of music. It's so sophisticated, you could easily miss how brilliant it is.
I love the harmony. It starts so weird than you wonder how she will do for reaching the chorus. Be she makes it there!
You are so right! Beside the singing, I am stunned by each instrument played. I spent hours listening to each of them separately. It’s Haute Couture music.
@@hassali79 I'm a vocalist so the first I heard it, I was mesmerized "What on earth is she doing?" I listened to it a million times and the vocal line still escapes me. I'm not talking about pitch, which is weird enough, just the line. It's so strange.
I think people are finally realising how great she is.
Her dancing is so unique I'm mesmerized
If this version of the song doesn't make you understand the story then nothing will. Absolute top class.
Agree.......but this version is TOO literal....spells out everything....leaving nothing to the imagination of a 1st timer.
The original UK version had a disturbing otherworldly vibe that left a lot to the listener/viewer's imagination.
However can't deny how utterly unique and original this song is.....Kate's vocals, high shrill pitch, expressions and dance choreography are just on another level.
Catherine Earnshaw...may you never rest as long as I am living. Haunt your murderer..take any form, drive me mad.
Only don't leave me in this abyss where I cannot find you. Oh, God....how am I to live without my life. How am I to live without my soul?
This version was needed because people are sooo dumb that they nominated this song as one of the best love songs of all times @@main_stream_media_is_a_joke
She's not a ghost, she's a charming angel!
Angel... with the wings of a bat. 😈
She’s such a talented artist
Out on the wily, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering heights
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in-a-your window
Oh, it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back, love, cruel Heathcliff
My one dream, my only master
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering heights
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in-a-your window
Oh, let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Oh, let me have it, let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold, let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home
I'm so cold

My six year old daughter is OBSESSED with Kate Bush. I'm totally on board.
Kate Bush is everything
For those wondering: The end title is in Dutch and it's a translation of this part of the song:
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
I was 12 when my Mummy introduced me to Kate Bush. She sat there humming and vibing along and I started too. It was a special memory. I lost her on the 15th and since I’m far away and she tried keeping her being so ill I didn’t find out until this Monday. I’m finding all these songs we enjoyed and it’s hard but also comforting.
Losing mum effing sux. Sorry.
So sorry for your loss! May she rest in peace🙏🏼
This song is the definition of depression ua-cam.com/video/jy87iiTC9SY/v-deo.html its probably what you feel rn
❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope time is helping you remember happier days with your mum.
And this is what Halloween should look like for eternity ... with ethereal sound & hauntingly beautiful vocals
well the scene is based and song is based and about wuthering heights, the movie.
@@ashleynixon8305 The 19th century novel by Emily Brontë, you mean.
E Marc falou algo sem sentido? Não, mas a pessoa que respondeu seu comentário primeiro falou.
Kate was able to present her talent before airbrushing and gimmicks. Pure talent.
@@muppetboy There is a reason the other two videos were filmed in a large studio and an empty field.
This definitely should have been the official video!
The dancing graves and skulls are great.
The Haunted House in this video is located in the Dutch theme park Efteling. This was fillmed in 1978, 2 days after the House opened. Sadly, it has been closed last year and will be replaced by something similar, but more modern.
It was Kate's very first TV appearance ever.
nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spookslot_(Efteling)
I don't know what I did to be born in the same universe and same timeline as Kate Bush... but I am VERY glad I did it!
Goodness!!!! Where this been hiding? Never seen this before
Still the best song ever written
The way Kate came out of the coffin reminds me of when the girl on ‘The Ring’ crawls out of the tv
Some great clips available from the Efteling Special! www.katebushencyclopedia.com/efteling-tv-special
Don’t you love it when 40 years later you find this gem that has been hidden away!! Love this video and makes so much sense to her storytelling.
Hidden gems are the best! One I discovered not too long ago: Queen's "Lily of the Valley". Have been listening to Queen most of my life and had never heard this little gem.
I agree
It's so amazing this video...😶☹😔
Kate indeed looks like Catherine hunted Hathcliff for the eternity over and over again.
I hope visit Yorkshire some day.
Regards from Argentina.
🇦🇷😎🤗
One of many unique 80’s artists! What a creative era!
she's a70's artist withering heights was released in 1978
This was the 1970's
@@skippybartalozzi boy y’all guys are picky now! C’mon 78 isn’t the 80’s? I guess so mathematically speaking… but lol 😆
@@reklovjj It's not about being picky, if you were from the 70's and 80's, like myself, you know that there was an enormous difference, that's all.
After Kate Bush, the best version of this song is sung by Angra (a Brazilian heavy metal band from the 90s) and Anna Maz, a Brazilian singer (search on UA-cam for the TV show "Canta Comigo" and "Anna Maz" and "Wuthering Heights" in 2022).

My fav version
I have been searching this song for decades.
Note, this precedes Thriller. It amazes me that Kate Bush is so much more than a singer, a musician, a composer, producer etc. This song was never just a song in her mind. It was/is a full theatrical, aidio-visual experience. The way she alters her voice, the musical arrangement, the stage setting, her facial expressions, the way she moves & dances all are a part of the whole. I think Kate Bush needs to write a Broadway show. I would be there in a second!

This is the most beautiful dancing and singing ghost
Such breathtaking beauty.
Awesomesauce to all of us "old" Kate Bush fans. I have loved this song since it came out. Heathcliff let Kathy in!!!
This is also one of my favorite books.
I never heard this song before. I loved it. Greetings from 2023
Her dancing is so unique I'm mesmerized
Omg this version fits so perfectly to the song. I loved ❤️
It's so much better than the original. Fits the lyrics better
Only Kate Bush could capture the mood of Emily Brontë's novel. Haunting, in the best possible way.
Kate Bush is amazing!
She's beautiful; always has been and always will be. She was so ahead of her time 🌈💕✨️
And probably still is. ✌
Way ahead of Stevie nicks
I remember at the beginning of her career Kate was interviewed and she spoke a profound truth . She said , when I listened to modern pop music I thought , why does everyone sing in a American country accent ? - the answer of course is it hides the fact that most singers sing off key and it's still done today.
I remember the first time I heard this in 1978 I laughed at her voice and thought how weird the song was . After a few listens I was hooked . I’ve been a massive Kate bush fan ever since..
That reminds me…I was 8 at the time this song came out. Heard it on the radio and thought who was the weirdo with the banshee voice? 😆 I didn’t like it at the time, well I was 8, what did I know? But then Running Up That Hill was released in ‘85 with that haunting drum loop first hooking me. Purchased the Hounds Of Love album it came from, loved it. And have been a Kate Bush fan ever since. Regularly listening to all her albums from that late 70s to late 80s period. I’ve got to give The Red Shoes (from the early 90s) another try too. It just didn’t do it for me at the time. Also the very few albums she released in the naughties didn’t do it for me either. They’re not as good as her earlier music from that classic 70s/80s era unfortunately. But that’s just me. Maybe there are others who loved them. I was lucky enough to see her perform live back in 2014 though.
@@DavidDatura Agree with a lot of that but give side 2 of Ariel another listen and think about the beauty of the natural world.
I visited Top Withins in Yorkshire recently and it's so atmospheric it's unbelievable...this is Cathy's song, Cliff Richard's Be with me Always is Heathcliff's.
Kates annointed presence juxtoposed against the droll 1980s haunted house effects is so surreal. Thank You, Kate.
Just watched Wuthering Heights movie with Tom Hardy... such a sad but emotionally gut wrenching story..
Then I found this video of Kate Bush,never seen this one before but so good,
Now her words came To life, so loved it .
Certainly, many songs from the 60's, 70's, 80's, even 90's, make their way into movie soundtracks and the current generation ends up knowing the gems of past times.
This is still a masterpiece of art, imo, for many different reasons...
Kate Bush had started her dancing classes with Lindsay Kemp, in 1976, and I can see the influences of his teaching and her *learning*, with those floating steps and movements in this video...
I interviewed Kate Bush several times, and she told me about her dancing classes because I had said that her moves were amazing. Strangely enough, while looking at her biography on Wikipedia, there is no reference to her dancing and who inspired her. Therefore, I am lucky to have been able to ask the right questions, and get some private thoughts, in those days.
What a voice! she started writing songs when she was 11...
*Wuthering Heights* (I think Kate was just 19 in this video)🤔
LPeaceM💙☮️🎵
Wow you interviewed Kate Bush, thats so cool!!!
Did she ever told you why she never wanted to do tours?
@@SBPau2024 Yes, sweet Sissy...🤩Thank you for your comment.🌻
Actually Kate did tour...she stopped in 1979 circa, for several reasons, one of them being because she was in shock after the death of her lighting Engineer on stage, but not only that... She resumed in 2014...
LPeaceM
Thanks for the insight, Kaye Bush is impressive already but to know she started so young makes it even more amazing. Some people are destined for greatness. What an amazing opportunity it must have been to get to interview her, I bet lots of people envied you and still do. Thanks again for letting us know
@@SBPau2024 She was exhausted after the Lionheart Tour ( no one called it The Tour Of Life then) and she kind of knew that to top it was going to be really difficult and hugely expensive. There were three 40 ft trucks on that tour, not a lot today, but in 1979 for a non-arena band almost unheard of. Many of the gigs had to have their stages extended by a team of scaffolders. And as Melody Fox correctly says, she was devastated by the death of Bill Duffield her LD at Poole Arts centre. I worked in that tour and it was a massive undertaking, I don't' blame her for deciding she wanted to focus on the studio, I think she did think that she would eventually tour again but the moment passed and it never happened until the Hammersmith shows and tellingly they were all in one place.
I've never seen anyone slip out of a coffin prop so gracefully and beautifully! Love, love, love this lady forever! This is a stunning adaptation of the song.
How have I never come across this before? This is incredible...I have been a fan of Kate since the mid 80's and I've never seen this video before.......WOW....JUST WOW...
I am wondering the same thing.
Kate Bush, ella toda es una obra fascinante, miro todas las versiones de ésta canción y no deja de traerme a la película y pensar que la creó siendo ella muy jovencita, el talento le salía por los poros, escuché éste tema por primera vez en 1978, por supuesto de un disco que poseo y desde entonces me encantó su voz, por siempre kete Bush❤
Sí, realmente una artista única. Ahora puedo apreciarla más que nunca porque pude aprender el idioma inglés después de muchos años de insistencia en la depuración de los sonidos. Además todos nosotros somos o fuimos ocultistas, sin excepciones. Largas horas en los cementerios meditando. ¿No es así? No podía ser de otro modo. Esta canción es mágica. ¿Qué habrá entre este mundo y el otro?
Never saw this version before. I am stunned 🖤🖤🖤
Beyond brilliant 😍😍😍
Omg why am I only seeing this now in 2022! I’ve loved her for years 😭 gothic magic!
Kate Bush is a creative genius and a beautiful soul. I was too young to appreciate her music when it first came out, but I got into it a couple of years ago. I'm so glad a new generation is discovering her music, and she's having ever more success. This song in particular sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it. In the coldest part of Winter, read the book and then listen to this song 10x on repeat, and you'll never be the same again. 😳
After all these years still sounds amazing!
Her dedication to what she is doing is amazing
most beautiful music in the world
This song was always gothic for me..aged 10..first single I ever bought...glad that another generation will look her up..for one of the best female icon's of all time.for me she is the best..💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Yeah, I mean, "gothic version", sounds as if there is a "non-gothic" version... Don't think so.
Totally sick ! Totally amazing !
I love the monk in the back at 0:53 thinking,"Oh, that ghost is dancing again..."
J'ai toujours trouvé les vidéos de Kate Bush nulles, voir catastrophiques... mais musicalement, c'est une immense artiste.
I cannot believe I’ve never seen this version. Like I’m blown away. I’ve never even seen anyone discuss it. Where the hell did this come from?! Thank you!
this actually was recorded in a dutch attraction park named the efteling!
I feel like this version is very fitting for the vibe of the song
beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Thank the lord someone has uploaded a great version of this Efteling special performance
1st time seeing this version ❤ she really is an angel 🌹
I lived in the US for most of my life but never heard of Kate Bush until I moved to Ireland in the early 2000's. My husband recommended her to me. I chose to listen to 'Wuthering Heights' and at the time, was a little put off by the vocals so never gave her any more thought. Fast forward to hearing 'This Woman's Heart' and 'Cloudbusting' on the Handmaid's Tale..I looked up the singer and to my surprise, it was Kate Bush. She has since become my very favorite female artist, even knocking my longtime fave, Florence Welch, off the top of the list. When I gave Wuthering Heights another listen I wondered why I'd ever dismissed this enchanting, ethereal song. It gives one goosebumps! Kate Bush is a one-of-a-kind artist. She feels and revels in what she is singing, and becomes not just the person singing, but a part of the song itself, if that makes any sense. I'm a huge fan of Stranger Things and was delighted when I heard the familiar intro of 'Running up that Hill' in Season 4.
Kate Bush es una artista completa. Nunca oí una canción interpretada desde la perspectiva de un fantasma, es absolutamente maravilloso. Kate tiene un talento único, una voz privilegiada y un encanto particular. Leí el libro hace tantos años y cada vez que escucho a Kate Bush, viene a mi mente el recuerdo del amor tormentoso que existió entre Cathy y Heathcliff. Esta canción e interpretación es una verdadera obra de arte. Emily Brontë estaría muy orgullosa de oírla...❤
I gotta say, it's something approaching 4 and a half decades later and this song, as well as her others, are still popular. I can't imagine a greater honor for an artist. and I feel privileged to have been there when it all happened the first time round.
Fun fact about kate bush: a lot of the alt-girl singers in the 90s consider her an influence / inspiration. Kinda makes sense if we went back to that time.
Indeed, Tori Amos (and Byörk) being the best known I think. And most similar if not the same of course, in style to Kate Bush. I was a big fan of hers too. Tori put out her best work in the 90s. While Kate was winding down a bit, only releasing The Red Shoes in the early 90s but then not releasing another album until over a decade later.
Was recorders in the dutch amusement Park De Efteling.
The energy brings our spirits
I have loved this song for decades but only recently learned that Kate Bush had envisioned this song as an appeal from Kathy's ghost. This video version is new to me as well and would have unmasked that deeper storyline for me
I've never seen this anywhere. Thank you so much for posting.
Art in its truest form Kate is a genius 👏
This is recorded at the amusement park "The Efteling" at the Netherlands - sadly this attraction has an expiration date much shorter than this song and the haunted castle will be demolished after this summer (2022).
Absolument superbe et unique
Un souvenir d'enfance intacte une des premières expériences musicales
Amazing. Mesmerising..
Such an unusual voice, wonderful
This video was recorded in an amusement park in The Netherlands, The Efteling. The theme was a haunted castle and for that time revolutionary hologram projections. I believe though that this theme is removed and is making place for something else.
This was filmed at the Spookslot attraction located at the Efteling a theme park in the Netherlands - Haunted Castle is what it translates in to English from Dutch. The attraction was a sort of haunted show set to music which was the composition Danse Macabre Op.40 by Camille Saint-Saëns.
The new attraction at Efteling is named Danse Macabre after that composition/piece of music and is also a haunted spectacle but it’s also a ride that also re uses some of the same props and theming and a similar gothic spooky vibe that the Spookslot attraction had so it keeps the legacy of that and also expands on it so it is a sort of spiritual successor but is also a ride. You are let into a haunted abbey and the choir stalls move spin and dance to music as around you various haunted spooky things happen around you during the ride
my personal fave song of hers i love her❤️💖
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS? THANK YOU
I found the perfect setting for this song that I love as well as the movie and especially the book ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
I must confess I have never seen this version but I think it is my favorite.
This video is so fitting to the song. I have always been a Kate Bush fan and loved this song since it first came out but it was many years later that I got around to reading Wuthering Heights. Reading the book I could not stop thinking about this song and since then it has made this song so much more special. As a hobby carpenter I vowed that someday I'll build a large mahogany cabinet around my bed enclosing it to the window and wait for Cathy to visit.
I just got to add how absolutely perfect her voice fits to the mood of the the book. Her voice is ethereal and haunting and so amazingly captivating.
she is the most beautiful and talented on this earth❤️
Just a little correction: "Wuthering Heights" was not released on 4 November 1977. The single was initially scheduled for that date, however, Kate was unhappy with the cover and insisted it be replaced. Some copies had already been sent out to radio stations, but the single's release would only officially happen on 20 January, 1978
I cant wait till’ October so I can blast this on my TV
Não conhecia esse vídeo de Whutering Heights ainda. Incrível como se passam tantos anos e ficamos conhecendo apenas a versão oficial.
This video suits the story of the song so well.
Is it a coincidence that Kate Bush and Emily Bronte, the author of the book Wuthering Heights both have the same Birthday: the 30th of July?
Great song
Been a big fan of Kate from the beginning. Never seen this video before. Brilliant. ✌😊
Just wonderful
I simply love this version! She's so stunning ❤ Thank you for the HQ videos!
Fascinating
Any way we can get this in the Top 10 again (44 years later)??? 💃🙂
Gorgeous gorgeous voice❤
This is beyond wonderful.
Wow! I thought I had everything Kate Bush there was to get. Thankyou!!!
Loved this album when it came out.
always in the top 5 most beautiful songs on earth
A classic !!
ahh amazing! ive been to this haunted castle, its in a theme park called efteling :)
I've been peripherally aware of Kate Bush for decades, but for some reason hasn't really caught my attention fully until recently. I am just beginning my journey getting to know her work. I know almost nothing about her except that she's an intriguing trip!
Very intelligent, very creative and talented, possibly slightly insane, much like most of the people I've had romantic relationships with.
@0ldman : a female producer... That's the point
